I am a semi active daytrader and I trade options and my YTD commision is about $2000. You will be surprised to know that I meant $5000 YTD and not for a month as you said. I did not want to expand the poll options to increase the resolution. Definitely I agree with you but there was not much that I could do.
Lescor is right. $5k/month is nothing... $5k for 4 months into the year means barely making any moves. Not sure what my YTD comm is but probably don't want to know .
